These regulations set out how FBBFK chooses the best athletes, coaches and sports workers each year. They were adopted by the Executive Board on 1 March 2023 and are applied by the Commission for the Selection of Athletes of the Year.
Each year the Federation names the ten best athletes from the senior ranks, as well as the sponsors and donors of the year. The regulations concern the annual awards; they do not determine the make-up of the national team.
What it contains
- Who may be considered: all athletes who competed as seniors, juniors or in the age groups during the calendar year.
- Who is excluded: athletes sanctioned during the year or subject to disciplinary or criminal proceedings, as well as sanctioned clubs and coaches.
- Additional criteria besides results: worthy representation at competitions, psycho-physical abilities and exemplary conduct in and out of competition.
- Assessment based on results at official world, European, Mediterranean and Balkan competitions, as well as at Pan-Albanian and national championships.
- The points table: the higher the level of the competition and the placing achieved, the more points are awarded; the World Games and the World Championship carry the most.
- The nomination form, on which the club or coach enters the candidate’s category and five best results of the year.
- Awards for contributors to the development of the sport and for the best judges.
- The selection of sponsors and donors, in cooperation with the Board and the administration.
- Interpretation of the regulations by the Board and entry into force.
For clubs and athletes
- Nominations are made by the club or coach using the official form.
- Only results at official competitions recognised by the Federation earn points.
